this is my last zine to comment on, and i have to say im kinda happy that its one by you guys - throughout the zines, pieces by all three of you have consistently been some of my favourites, you have created some amazing things, and this zine was no different.
randy interview: this was so fun, i love a fanfic interview, and you did such a good job with the format. i love randy so much as well, so this was a real treat, and it really made me laugh. i love thinking about how blaseball looks to people from the outside and god. siphon, huh? so true bloodthirsty randy #justgirlythings
triptych: god. this was so. the way you built up those characters and their reactions to their mods was so simple but effective, it was really good character work. the different reactions to the different horrors all felt very believable. i loved the concept of having fire-eater making you cold, and the dix one was so. fuck. siphon is so interesting with the amount of harm it causes to other players, and it makes it so fascinating to explore the mindset of siphons, and the way you wrote it here made so much sense, as well as being like. fuck.
margo nava: hiiii margo my beloved. all of margos relationships are so precious, and i loved the way you wrote them here, and i loved that sense of pressure on margo from the ‘curse’. fire eater guilt is so real, and i feel like the pressure margo puts on xemself makes xem a prime target for it. i loved how this fic wasnt so much about the fire-eating itself but about everything around it, and also i am holding margo So gently !
yeong-ho: yeong-ho is always one of those players i know nothing about but think are probably cool, so i was very excited for this one. this was such a cool way for friend of birds to happen, it had a vibe that really suited both the magic and what i know of yeong-ho, and i can really feel that sense of power mixed with fear mixed with awe coming from the birds. there was some really cool imagery in this one.
this was a really cool exploration of a bunch of different aspects of some of my favourite mods, as well as really concise crafted character moments. a super fun read!
